South Carolina executes convicted murderer by firing squad
A South Carolina man was put to death by a firing squad Friday after being convicted of a 2001 double homicide. The execution of Brad Sigmon, 67, marks the first time since 2010 that a firing squad has been used in the U.S., and comes as the Trump administration works to expand capital punishment. Robin Maher, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.
